What the Wenches Are Reading

Happy Release Day, Saucy Readers! Some of us are equally excited and scared for Silver Shadows today, while others are just excited for Ilona Andrews's next Kate Daniels book, Magic Breaks. What are you excited about today? Click through to see what we're reading, and share your list in the comments below!Amanda: I was listening to A Feast for Crows on my awesome Kindle HDX,
but Arya bored me to death.

Angela: FinishedNeverwhereby Neil Gaiman. As brilliant as I was promised it would be. Then I've read Where Serpents Sleepby
C.S. Harris and really enjoyed it. It's book #4 of the Sebastian St Cyr
series and they just keep getting better and better. If you love
Regency mysteries, then this series is a must read.Anne: I
am re-reading my all-time favorite series, The Lord of the Rings, while
I wait for the new Chicagoland Vampires book to be released. I
can't wait for it!!Barb: I finished House Rules, and the following day Blood Games showed up on my doorstep! So I read it, very quickly since I couldn't put it down. It was...fantastic! Every single thing that I've come to expect from a CLV book. And so much more. Writing a review is going to be difficult because there is so much goodness in it. Look for a review next week! Now, I've read the seven early release chapters, and as you read this, Silver Shadows will have landed on my e-reader and I will be trying not to sneak in chapters at work. Not that I would ever do that. Not that I did that with Blood Games. *whistles innocently*

Care: OUTLANDER!
Outlander-Outlander-Outlander! Dragonfly in Amber has occupied most of
my week,with bits and pieces of The Mislabeled Child coming in every
so often as well. Toss in a quick reread of Hot Head (every so often
I'm almost *compelled* to read that one!), and you've got a pretty
well-rounded week in reading!Donna: This
week I read two Diana Gabaldon novellas: The Space Between and A Leaf On the Wind of All Hallows. One features Roger Mackenzie's parents and
the other features Jamie's stepdaughter, Joan, and Ian and Jenny's son,
Michael. Both were great, but too darn short!Kathi: This week I’m still rereading Written in My Own Heart’s Blood. But all the Outlander tv series goodness online and its Comic-Con premiere has me wanting to reread Outlander real quick before the show, so I’ve spent more time reading this week.
I’ve got a long train trip scheduled, and plan to listen to my Outlander books the whole way!Merit: This
was a week of unfinished books. Started three new books from my TBR list, two
were abandoned after a few chapters, the third, I may return to at
another time. Now I amrereading Shadow of Night by Deborah Harkness, All Souls Trilogy’s second book, in preparation for the third installment, The Book of Life.

Natalie: Hello
Saucy readers! Well this past week I finished a slower second read of The Book of Life and if you've not already read this great trilogy by
Deborah Harkness then I do not know what you are waiting for. This past
weekend I read The Girl You Left Behind
by Jojo Moyes and like the previous Moyes books I found the characters
are now etched on my heart and soul. Did not need as many tissue as her
previous books buy still just as powerful. Now in private I've been
called a slacker on my reading of Chloe Neill's Chicagoland Vampires
series so this week I'm picking up where I left off in December with my
full series reread. So after I hit enter on this post my nose will be
in Twice Bitten in hopes I can get caught up by August 9th when I get to
see the fabulous Chloe Neill again. And in one week I get to meet Mrs.
Deborah Harkness. Happy reading to all our Saucy Followers!Zee: I read half of Parker's Passion by Sabrina York.. it's... weird? I
don't know. Not exactly enjoying it, but feel like I should see it
through. Reread Jaye Wells's Dirty Magic because I NEED more Kate and
Volos. NEEEEED. Been skimming through the last few Chicagoland books. I
love Chloe Neill. And Merit. And Ethan. Ethan... sigh.

Giddy with anticipation for the release of Karen Marie Moning's Iced, a lot of the Wenches have been thinking about Dani "Mega" O'Malley, the young sidhe-seer we first met in Bloodfever, who is poised to step out of the shadows behind Mac and Rowena and take center stage. Though Moning has recently said the three books she is writing for Dani will continue the story we've been following in the Fever books, the POV will shift to reveal the next chapters through Dani's eyes.

With our heads firmly buried in Shadowfever in a frenzied effort to finish our rereads before the new release, we Wenches have been wondering what's in store for Dani. But no one has wanted to stop reading long enough to write a proper tribute to our young heroine as she prepares to take the leap to leading lady. Though we all think she's pretty awesome and deserves a big ticker-tape parade to show our support.

So a sneaky Wench tried the stealth approach and asked us for just a fe…

A SUPER Spoilery Discussion of Feversong by Karen Marie Moningby: Zee the Terrible and Barbara BonesIt's now been two weeks since we got our hot little hands on Feversong, the final book in the Mac & Barrons part of Karen Marie Moning's Fever series. It's almost all we can talk about in the Saucy Wenches hallways (which is really online, but you get the drift) and we have lots of thoughts and opinions so we aren't putting off our Super Spoilery Recap Extravaganza any longer!

Zee told you about how much she loved it in her Wench review, here, and it will surprise exactly no one that Barb did, too. Loved it to pieces. Thought it was pretty much perfect, exactly the kind of conclusion KMM has been promising us since she gave us Iced, leaving everyone precisely where they need to be. That said, we have lots and lots and LOTS of thoughts. So come with us through the jump where we're dishing all the dirt, in filthy, spoilery detail. We mentioned that spoilers would a…

If you've been following our What the Wenches are Reading posts, you'll know that I recently finished up a re-read of the last three Fever books, Iced, Burned, and Feverborn. You may also know that I've been rereading the Chicagoland Vampire series and posting the questions I've come up with as I go. Well, as I was re-reading the Fever books, I realized I have some questions for Ms. Karen Marie Moning also. Now, I really don't expect to get answers to most, if not all, of these questions. That doesn't mean that I won't even bother asking. On the contrary, knowing that we may never know the answers is driving me fucking crazy. Keep reading after the break to see what these questions are and hopefully watch me stave off the madness a little longer.

Or How I Learned to Stop, Smell the Pig Shite, and Fall in Love with the Fifth Book in Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series

As the wait for the new Outlander book and television series drags on (and oooooonnnnnnnnaaaarrrggghhh), many fans have been rereading the first seven books in the series. Fascinating online discussions abound as to the motivations of the characters, the nuances of meaning within various scenes, and future possibilities and foreshadowing.

Amongst enthusiastic effusions about all things even remotely associated with our beloved series, I’ve seen one recurring subject of complaint. People like to pick on The Fiery Cross. “It’s too slow.” “It doesn’t have enough action.” “Where’s the mystery?”

So during my recent reread, I set out to take a few notes about memorable moments. But I gave that up early on. There were far too many. Because the book was like a beautiful love letter straight from the heart of Diana Gabaldon. Lovingly crafted. For me and the legions of other fan…

They say there is no such thing as a perfect person. I disagree. There exists one man who is the embodiment of perfection. That one man is Jensen Ackles. Don't believe me? Well, for this fangirl Friday, I am here to prove to you that Jensen Ackles is the world's most perfect man. Though, I will concede to the fact that there are, in actuality, several perfect men out there. But, Jensen is definitely one of them. He's got it all, the whole package. Looks, talent, personality, everything. Keep reading after the jump to watch me go into full on fangirl meltdown. Or, as some of my friends call it, a full-on Jensen Situation. Yes, we have a term for reveling in his perfection.
